If the middle & lower class don't get some relief, they won't be able to AFFORD Joe the plumber!!!  They will let their sink continue to drip, until such time as their water bill becomes burdensome.  Then they will have to choose between "Joe the plumber", the water bill, or perhaps their prescription meds.  It's time for change...we absolutely NEED Barack Obama!!!

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Ring any bells? To the best of my knowledge, this right is something that applies to ALL Americans.

Let me start by saying that I love my family, the one I was born into.  Even though I am the only Democrat in it, I love them all and respect their opinions, although they almost always differ from mine (and my husband's).  I am a 57-year old white woman and a die-hard Democrat and I can't wait until I can proudly cast my vote for Barack Obama!  He has inspired me with his message of HOPE. This country definitely needs change and he seems to be the one offering it.  Of course, in the presence of my family, I keep my mouth shut when I know that opening it won't change anyone's mi

Does that mean what I think it means? That any soldier coming back from "wherever" can go right into teaching without being tested?

Has anyone taken the 30-45 minutes yet to read the article that is coming out in Rolling Stone magazine?  It is an incredibly in-depth look into the life of John McCain, starting with his young years (his POW years might not be all he has played them to be) and ending with the recent financial mess.  It can be read here: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/print
